(Cl. 143-433) to be able to sharpen the saw quickly and easily;

The teeth are set near their tips on opposite ,sides-of. the saw blade, and each tooth :has an outer cutting edge which form a-clean-cut side wall in the kerf, and another cutting edge angularly disposed'inrelationto the movement of the saw for cutting the material 1 away from thabottom of 'thekerf. This is accomplished by bevelling the tooth at its inner corner. This beveldoes not extendvery far down the tooth and the remainder of the frontedg'ethereof lies at right angles to the plane-of the blade Thisstraight front edge moves the material after it is cut without jamming it against the sides of the kerf, thus reducing the amount of exertion necessary to move the blade. The inner corners of the teeth are at least in line with each other, or they may overlap a little in order that all the wood is cut and not torn away from the kerf bottom.

Two methods of carrying out this invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a hand saw blade,

Figure 2 is an enlarged plan view of a few teeth of this blade,

Figure 3 is a vertical section taken on the line 33 of Figure 2,

Figure 4 is a similar view to Figure 3 illustrating an alternative form of the invention,

Figure 5 is a side elevation of a portion of a circular saw blade,

Figure 6 is a plan view thereof, and

Figure 7 is a vertical section taken on line 'II of Figure 5.

Referring more particularly to Figures 1 to 3, I0 is a hand saw blade having a plurality of teeth I I along one edge which are alternately set near their tips on opposite sides thereof. As each tooth is the same only one will now be referred to. The tooth is bevelled adjacent its inner corner,-as"at I2, andhas avertical front edge 7 I3 lying at right anglesto the-plane of the blade. It is preferable to make the rear edge I4 of the tooth straight across, that is, lying at right angles to the plane of the blade. The tip of the tooth is formed with a flat surface I5. A-substantially vertical cutting edge I6 is formed'at the outer forward corner of the tooth, while anothercutting edge II, angularly disposed in relation to the length of the blade, is formed at the 'tip of the tooth by the bevel I2 and theflat 'su-r face I5, the-latter being substantiallytriang'ular in shape.

The teeth II are relatively large and pockets I8 are formed therebetween which are compare,- tively deep. The front and rear walls of these pockets, (the rear and front edges of the adjacent teeth) are straight across, excepting for "the bevels I2 adjacent the "tips of the'teeth. Theinner corners I 9 of the teeth areat least inline with each other, as in Figure '3, or they "may overlap alittle, as in Figure 4. The flat surfaces I5 are all'inthe'same plane. With this arrangement; there is the equivalent of a continuouscub ting edgefrom the outer-edge 'of each tooth to the other'sideof'the blade. I

When the saw is cutting material, say-foreframple, wood, the cutting edges I6 cut the wood cleanly on each side of and just beyond the blade, thus forming a kerf with clean-cut side walls. The angular cutting edges I! out the wood away from the bottom of the kerf from one: side to the other thereof. Each of the latter cutting edges cuts from substantially the middle of the kerf to an outer wall thereof and it is arranged at an angle to the movement of the saw blade so that the cutting action is natural and requires a minimum of effort. The pockets I8 are large enough to convey the particles of wood to the ends of the cut and the fact that the front and rear edges I3 and I 4 are straight across permits them to move the particles without jamming them between the teeth and the sides of the kerf. The small bevel I2 provides the necessary angular cutting edge I1 and yet reduces to a minimum the possibility of jamming the particles.

Normally this saw may be sharpened merely by drawing a flat file over the flat surfaces I5 and two or three strokes at a time usually are sufficient. This action restores the cutting edge I1. Once in awhile, however, it is necessary to run a file over each of the bevels I2, thus restoring both the angular; and vertical cutting edges.

With the cutting arrangement described above, it is possible to use large teeth to do the job which formerly required small teeth so that better removal of the particles is efiected without jamming them between the blade and the kerf sides, resulting in considerably less eifort being needed to operate the saw despite the his teeth.

Figures 5, 6, and 7 show a circular saw blade 24 incorporating this invention. In this case, the front edge I3 of each tooth l i is not vertical but it is cut back under the tooth to form a large recess or pocket 25, and the rear edge M curves up and over the tooth. The bevel i2 is formed at the inner corner of the top of the tooth, but the flat surfaces are omitted. A pointed tip 26 is formed at the outer corner of the tooth.

This circular saw functions in the same manner as the hand saw. It requires less power to do a certain job, it makes very clean cuts, and it may be used for ripping, crosscutting or diagonal cutting. This saw is sharpened by running a file over the bevels i2, and a few strokes over the rear edge M at and towards the tip 26 helps.

' What I claim as my invention is:

, 1. A saw comprising a blade, a plurality of straight-sided teeth formed at the edge of the blade, each having a tip at its outer end, said teeth being alternately set at their tipson opposite sides of the blade with large recesses formed in said blade at the front edges of the .teeth, the tip of each tooth being bevelled at the inner corner of the front edge thereof which has been moved inwardly over the blade by the setting to form a transverse angular cutting edge, each tooth having its front edge between the bevel and the blade lying at right angles to the .plane of the blade and a substantially vertical cuttingedge'at the outer side of the bevelled por- .tion thereof, and all said inner corners being at least in line with each other.

-2. A saw comprising a blade, a plurality of teeth formed at the edge of the blade and alternately set near their tips on opposite sides thereof, each tooth being bevelled adjacent its inner corner which has been moved inwardly over the blade by the setting and having a flat surface constituting its outer end forming with the bevel surface an angular cutting edge, and all the fiat surfaces being in the same plane. 1

3. A saw comprising a blade, a plurality of straight-sided teeth formed at the edge of the blade, each having a tip at its outer end, said teeth being alternately set at their tips on opposite sides of the blade, the tip of each tooth being bevelled at the inner corner of the front edge thereof which has been moved inwardly over the blade by the setting, each tooth having a flat surface constituting its outer end, and all the flat surfaces being in the same plane, and each tooth having a transverse angular cutting edge formed by the intersection of the bevelled and flat surfaces thereof.

4. A saw comprising a blade, a plurality of straight-sided teeth formed at the edge of th" blade, each having a tip at its outer end, sai I teeth being alternately set at their tips on op-. posite sides of the blade, the tip of each tooth being bevelled at the inner corner of the front edge thereof which has been moved inwardly over the blade by the setting, each tooth having a flat surface constituting its outer end, the inter section of the bevelled and flat surfaces of each tooth forming a transverse angular cutting edge,

and all the fiat surfaces being in the same plane,

each tooth having its front edge between the VENANZIO CESARONI.
